Answer:
The answer is option A.
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find the equation of the function, when the graph is already known to us in the question, we can use the various coordinates points through which the curve is passing from. The various Asymptotes of the graph can be used to find the expression in the denominator of the function.
So here the graph is of the form:

Now when the value of x=-6 and x=6, we have the vertical asymptote, so at x=-6 and x=6 is where the vertical asymptotes lies.
Thus, we have a=6, b=-6.
And hence, the function whose graph is given will be

which is given by option A.
Answer
Choice D
Company 2 is greater in avg rate of change by $750
=======================================
Explanation:
Average rate of change is the same as slope through two points. The two points are the endpoints of the interval.
The x values we'll use is x = 0 and x = 12 since it constitutes the first 12 years (12-0 = 12)
For company 1, if x = 0 and x = 12, then y = 12000 and y = 30000 respectively. The two points (0,12000) and (12,30000) are on the graph for company 1
The slope of the line through these two points is
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m = (30000-12000)/(12-0)
m = 18000/12
m = 1500
Over the first twelve years, the average rate of change for company 1 is 1500
For company 2, the points (0,15000) and (12,42000) are on the graph
The slope of the line through these two points is
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m = (42000-15000)/(12-0)
m = (27000)/(12)
m = 2250
Over the first twelve years, the average rate of change for company 2 is 2250
Now find the difference in the slopes
2250-1500 = 750
Company 2's rate of change is larger by $750
So that's why the answer is choice D. Over this timespan, company 2 is growing faster on average compared to company 1
Out of 100 flips, the nickel landed on tails 65 times.
P(tails)=65/100 or 0.65 or 65%
Answer 65%
In math for we have:
2x-2=x+64
which turns into:
x=66
(subtract x from right) & (add two from left)
